Sailing,
I agree 100% - lines painted at the gates don't mean squat. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a shot at the seemingly never-ending codeshares/JVs.
By the way, if each individual codeshare or JV is good for DAL Pilots we should be hiring Pilots by the thousands with all of our code-shares, JV's and whatever it is our deal with Alaska is called.
